Week 1 – Sunday July 24, 2011 The CREVE COEUR CRUSHER

For 2011You are going to play a course that will challenge the player with longer shots, a much higher par @ 68. These scores 60’s, 70’s & even 80’s are gonna happen. But it is a good start, everyone wants to see how they rate against Creve Coeur.

This is a Sunday Round – 8:30 Sign in – 10am TeeIt will be hot, I am hoping Ben will pull off the grass cut miracle at the lake!

Match Play will be conducted on three separate 9 hole set ups. The front and back at Sioux and another setup custom. This format is double elimination.

Now can you tell me you little brain is vibrating, you got all these ADD thoughts wondering what your gonna play and you just wish I would just stop writing about you and finish the post. I can and will in just a moment, after I tell you that this is about you, the club members who come to events, put the time in to see if they can help out a little, bring a case of water, or a big 5 gallon cooler that we can use in this hot weather. It is nice that we can hold these events, and nicer when we have interested people involved, Not super M. Kane write a book excited, just excited enough to know this is a lot of events. Enough that you are willing to drop a constructive post on the web site that will make each event better. The TD’s, the volunteers, you are why we can make this happen, Thank you all so much…….

Week 5 – August 20-21 2011 GDGT Endicott Open

Now here is the Big Event everyone needs to consider IF:1. You can play two days.2. You think, you can beat everyone in the World!3. You think you are capable of pre-registering at the PDGA Site.4. And it is gonna be a bit more expensive.

Check this out and you tell me if you like; The GDGT @ Endicott will actually be a simultaneous tournament. The Endicott open is a B-tier at the local level; where the score is the determining factor. But this is also a on the global level, we are talking about the Players Rating determining the outcome. There will be 2 payouts The local level and the global level. St. Louis is the only area in this region holding it so get on the Duece Train and check this event out.

So in conclusion, unless you are an absolute disc golf junky you really need to figure out what tourneys you want to play.

Ask yourself, do I want to play PDGA events? Can I make a Two-Day event or a one-day event.

On the club events, we have three wonderful clubs involved, (and a forth willing, I would lay down money on) The RCF is doing the Crusher, Match Play and the GDGT tourney.

So. Ill Chain Gang is putting on the Extreme

The St. Charles DGC will be assisting Lars at Quail ridge.

So think about it and then say, Jesus did I just read all that!?

And then get you budget in order so you can choose what you can afford to play.!
